No, Pharaoh does not skate in any skate parties anymore. He thinks they are crowded and they don’t prioritize JBSKATING. Pharaoh gets exactly what he wants and needs from the regular skate sessions in Chicago. To Pharaoh, skate parties are more expensive session with less space and opportunity to skate. There is barely any room on the skate floor. “No thanks,” – Pharaoh, JBGODS
If you feel like you are doing the same moves over and over again, don’t worry. It’s normal. We are all doing the same moves over and over again. This shouldn’t discourage you. There is also nothing wrong with spending time learning new material. Learning from other skaters will get you out of that some old bag to some degree.
The life of skating style continues to blossom. People like to say that skating is dead in Chicago. Maybe for them it is. For the rest of us, we are still present and still learning new stuff.
Of you want to get a good sweat but you hare going to the gym, roller skating will give you what you need. You have to move fast and skate hard in order for it to work. The reason that skating works so well as a cardio activity is because it’s possible to go almost nonstop. The fun of the roller skating has a tendency to blind you to the pain of the work. Another reason that skating is so great for cardio is that we exercise for up to 4 hours. Who wants to stay in the gym for four hours. Working out at a high intensity for hours at a time will surely allow you to burn hundreds of calories.
Normally, you would see Pharaoh and the JBGODS at Glenwood on Monday and Wednesday nights. Now with its doors closed, you are more likely to see the Gods at the Rink on 87th. The same can be said for many skaters who normally frequent Glenwood. Traffic has started to migrate to the Rink. The question is, how long will this last??
For the first time in a long time, Pharaoh can be seen skating at the Rink on 87th. He has been away from the skate scene in Chicago for a couple of months now. He is noticeably thinner and looks to be in better shape than before. Pharaoh worked up a good sweat tonight at the Rink and put in a good show as he normally does.
